Create Keyboard Shortcut Mappings

About this task

When you create a keyboard shortcut mapping, you map an Apple keyboard shortcut to a Windows keyboard shortcut. A keyboard shortcut consists of one or more key modifiers, such as Control and Shift, and a key code. A key code can be any key on your keyboard, except for a modifier key. When you press a mapped keyboard shortcut on your Apple keyboard, the corresponding Windows keyboard shortcut or action occurs in the remote desktop or application.

Specify the Apple keyboard shortcut sequence by clicking one or more keyboard modifiers and typing a key code in the text box. You can also select a key from the drop-down menu. The From: field shows the keyboard shortcut that you created.
